"We’re 99% sure that 99% of people in New York City don’t know that Apotheke Nomad exists and has a rooftop. The main bar area is down a set of stairs behind an unmarked door on 26th Street, but there’s an elevator that’ll take you to a small 11th-floor penthouse with a standing-room bar and a little terrace that has an up-close view of the Empire State Building. The terrace is calm, dark, and quiet, with just a handful of tables surrounded by armchairs. Do the cocktails cost $20? Yes, of course. But if you need to impress someone who hates crowds, this is one of your best options." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang
